Here's one way to win a stay of execution. The San Jose Merc reports on a tenant who refused to leave when the sheriff showed up in Santa Cruz county.
The attempted eviction of a renter Tuesday led to an hours-long police standoff and closed roads before sheriff's deputies decided to leave the man inside the Vienna Drive home and seek an arrest warrant.Sheriffs are expecting to see more tenant resistance to vacating from foreclosure sales, although not to the point of standoffs.
Most of the time they are amicable, but I think they need the proof of us actually showing up at the door to see it's really happening." Colleen O'Reilly, the civil process supervisor at the Sheriff's Office, said. "Reality becomes alive to them and they do go, but it seems, I think, lately that more people are hanging in there to the very end."
